I had kids young. First one at 21 and my 2nd at 23. Now I am done having kids. Talking to friends, a lot of it is, it is a major financial burden. Now in their mid to late 20s, they are waiting because they hope in the future to be more financially stable.
Now my person opinion. Unless your a millionaire, your never financially "stable" enough to have kids. It is going to kick you in the "balls" one way or another. Rather it is affording diapers (not so steep) or child care (almost take a whole pay check for many people) or medical. With that said, there is a degree where if I had to do it over, I may have waited.
- dalyons 4y agoPresumably your kids are 10 or more years old now? If so (as I’m sure you know) childcare and medical has gotten much more expensive in that timeframe
- tcmart14 4y agoUnder 10. I am not quiet yet 30, so my oldest is 7. But yea, medical is no joke. Not even just the actual medical bills. At my current job, I pay about $1k a month just for them to have insurance. The company covers my premiums, but barely anything if I have dependents.
